[Bump World] Shan Sheng Lone Tree

Jin collapsed on the grass exhaustedly, looked up and saw the blue sky, took a long time to let out an extremely deep and helpless breath, and closed his eyes.I know why he is so weird, it all happened a few hours ago.

"Gerry, Grey!" Jin jumped up cheerfully, and rushed straight at the passing boy.I saw the young man's complexion tightened, with a nervous and bewildered expression on his face.But in an instant, it was covered up very well.

After a period of observation, I found that the people in this competition are very good at acting.

Gray still had the dull face, without any color: "Don't be like this, Jin." After speaking, he stretched out his hand to reject Jin's warm embrace.He raised his hand, and the green broadsword on his shoulder was put into the bracelet.

I think, for a person like Gray who is not good at expressing feelings, putting away his arms is already a great degree of trust in Jin.It's a pity that a guy like Jin, who has no brains, obviously didn't realize this level, and his expression was lost.

However, according to the conversation between Ghost Fox and Gray a few days ago, it can be analyzed that this situation is not once or twice.I began to observe the communication between the two with great interest, hoping to observe some clues from the subtleties.

Jin was slightly shocked, reluctantly moved his hand away, and glanced in my direction with vague eyes.

I have long been used to people's indifferent eyes.Only because I am a tree myself can I clearly realize that almost all the eyes that look at me are not because of the tree's special attention.On the contrary, the fact that there is a bird's nest on the tree is the main factor that attracts attention.

Jin's eyes didn't move away immediately, and he began to hover around the tree branch.I noticed that his expression darkened, and I was suddenly curious, so I lowered my head and followed his gaze, only to see that a few birds had built a nest on me, ready to live a stable life.Their "chirp" calls are extremely thin, and I thought it was because I was old and had some auditory hallucinations.Now it seems that there is indeed a sound.

"Jin, you're fine, so I'll be leaving first." Seeing that he had been silent for a long time, Gray said softly.

Jin suddenly took a step forward, called Gray, but hesitated when he spoke: "Gerry...do you still remember that we used to dig out bird eggs from trees? At that time, you had no experience in climbing trees, so you managed to get up. I lost my hand and dropped the egg on the ground again..." After holding back for a long time, Jin finally finished these intermittent sentences, with some constricted breathing sounds in his voice, as if he had just spit out his thoughts.

"Jin, I already know how to climb trees, and I don't want to dig out any more bird eggs." Gray was silent for a while before he spoke slowly.Perhaps the birds on my body couldn't stand this dangerous topic, they screamed and flew away together.

Jin shook his head and said seriously: "Gerry, you know that's not what I'm talking about." After saying this, as if he was afraid that he wouldn't understand, he added: "You are different from before. It's not about your appearance. , nor character... After all, Gray was so taciturn in the past. What has changed..."

Hearing this, Gray's face was filled with uncertain gloom, and the brows twitched: "You have never said such sour words before."

The two fell into a silence that seemed to be agreed upon.For some reason, I didn't feel awkward looking from the sidelines, and Gray looked at Kim indifferently, without showing any enthusiasm; Kim stared stubbornly at the empty bird's nest in the tree, which was obviously empty.

An empty nest without birds is just a pile of dead grass, decadent on the treetops, swaying in the wind.

Jin suddenly smiled: "It must be because I was too tired today to say such strange words. Gray, don't mind, just pretend that nothing happened—" Before he finished speaking, a smile appeared on his lips Suddenly.

I saw Gray pouted amusedly, stepped forward, and hugged Jin.Jin's smile froze suddenly, and his hands froze in the air for a long time before he awkwardly patted Gray on the back: "I see."

Gray let go of his hand and took a step back: "It's good to know. Then start working hard today and break into the top [-]. Only then will you have a chance to explain it." After finishing speaking, he nodded and took a few steps back. Turn around and leave in the setting sun.

"It's been a good chat, and I even hugged it~" Kelly called softly, and slid from my branch to the ground in a smooth and steady manner.

Before the words finished, a strange light flashed in the eyes of the old bone beside her: "Miss Kelly, you just sat on me when you climbed the tree trunk, it's really unbearable..." Before I finished speaking, I Kelly covered her mouth.

In fact, long before Jin stopped Gray, I felt a weight climb up my spine.I thought it was a squirrel or something, but I didn't want to be a big living person.

Come to think of it, Kelly weighs very little.

When Jin saw Kelly, he seemed unnatural, and kept a subtle distance from her: "Kelly...how did you hear it?"

There was a bright smile on her lips.It is almost dusk now, and the twilight is blooming everywhere, adding a touch of gloom to the earth.Her smile was hazy because of the soft light: "Actually, I didn't intend to eavesdrop. I came here to find something good. Who knew I ran into it just so, so I hid first."

What she said was true. When Kelly climbed onto my tree trunk, Jin and Gray were still at the foot of the mountain in the distance, and the top of their heads could not be seen.

"So that's how it is." Jin lowered his eyelids, and turned to look up at her after a while: "Kelly, why did you do that the other day? We clearly agreed that we are teammates who are going to fight together." As he spoke, his expression changed slightly. very confused.

Seeing his stern look, Kelly sneered, "Jin, you really don't know anything. It's no wonder Grey refused to say anything."

"What do you mean?" Jin became more and more confused. Hearing Gray's name, his eyes darkened, and he hurriedly asked.

"No one knows what the Bump Contest is. Follow the rules, whether it's me and you, you and Ge Rui, or Garderos or Zitang Huan, among all the thousands of contestants, there will only be one left." As Kelly said, most of her sly smile disappeared, "No matter now or in the future, the so-called Guitian League or the Thunder Lion Pirates, even if they temporarily stand on the same front because of the situation, the final outcome will only be one of them turning against each other. ?"

Jin Ben pretended to be calm, and now he could not help but frown deeply after hearing this: "This is the reason why you abandoned us? Because you will eventually become enemies, so at this time, abandon us go……"

Kelly was silent for a long time before slowly opening her mouth: "No, it's just that there are some things that are beneficial to you if you don't know."

"That's what you said again." Jin's voice suddenly increased a lot, and he raised his head suddenly, "You, Gray, tell me that! If you can really be willing to know nothing, then I have worked so hard to find my sister, and I will What is the purpose of winning the game?" His voice became weaker and weaker under the drowsy sky, and finally turned into silent anger.His expression was concealed behind the brim of his hat, and his slightly shrugged shoulders showed unevenness.

Kelly looked at him, and gradually put away her smile.Finally, he said softly: "There are countless strong players in this competition. I believe that no one will be willing to be killed by this unprovoked competition system." After speaking, he wanted to touch his shoulder, but finally withdrew his hand silently.

I witnessed this conversation, and I never thought about anything else that was not relevant.Seeing Kaili and Jin leave quietly, running in opposite directions, I realized that the loneliness in the evening was filled with unknown astringency, and I had nothing to say.

It was the first time that I felt so clearly that I, who knew nothing about this world, had always been so pale and small——

The branches and leaves are caressed by the breeze, but I never know where the wind comes from, why it passes by, and when it will return.
